The Road from Roxbury

This book was very good to read if you have read Little House by Boston Bay and On Tide Mill Lane. I would reccomend reading those books first. If you enjoy them I reccoment the Martha and Caroline and Laura and Rose Years as well.

This book was good but it was too short. I would liketo a book in each series (Martha, Charlotte, etc.) writenabout each family from the mother's point of view. This gives the reader an idea of how nice Roxbury, MA once was. It sure isn't nice like that now!

If you loved Laura Ingalls Wilders' account of her life on the prairie, then you need to read all of these books, too. Written by various different authors, the books tell the stories of Laura's mother(Caroline), grandmother (Charlotte), and great-grandmother (Martha, who grew up in Scotland). This particular novel is a continuation of the story of Charlotte. Like the original Little House books, these books give a picture of the lives of girls growing up in earlier times than our own, and you get very caught up in all of it. There is also a series which tells of Laura's daughter Rose and her life. Read them all and get your kids (girls will especially like them) to read them, too!
